Here's some of the results of tonights trawl around the 'net on the other side of the world:  I'm liking this B210 Sunny a lot!  A rather nice wagon version of the same. We got these (vans, saloons, esates, 2dr, 4dr etc) over here, there's not many left but they're not that pricey when they do turn up. Plenty of Slot Mags like those around too (on Scimitars). |

Townace alert!:  Surely that's no Townace? Oh yes it is! The name is older than you think!  Slammed over Supra rims...we've all thought about it haven't we?  Yes dear, I have have changed my mind about getting a people carrier...you were right all along. Zafira? No darling, they're full of wee - how about a nice reliable Toyota? Something plain. |

That gold Townace is in a magazine I've got! I'll have to scan it.

On Yahoo at the moment:  I really like the Lexus makeover on this one. It should be tacky, but I think it's classy enough to pull it off.  Yes, It's on air. Click the picture for the actual ad...be prepared for the interior shot - I counted ten.   So, if I can find three in just two of the six Previa/Lucida pages on Yahoo then how come all the grey-import dealers in the UK keep bringing over standard - or worse, bodykitted ones? Shame on you! |

Jeez, that's a lot of telly's!  I quite like these 'VIP'-esque Previa's. Don't think I would buy one though, especially as 'Er Indoors would want to fill it. I shall not cease until I have poplated all this isle with Calibans |

You can scan it then, I'm going to finish this bottle of scotch. Nicely volunteered!
It is a cool issue though, the "USDM in Japan" stuff is interesting indeed. Funny that for every American trying to get hold of Japanese-spec headlights, there's someone in Japan trying to import US-spec ones! They should just do a big swap meet.

Come on, I spend all this time compiling a fabulous thread like this and you go asking for more. ;D ;D I've just realised where you got your NeoClassic from now...it was a prize wasn't it? |

Yep! Only material item I've ever won I think, really nice of them.
Reminds me, I need to go over and thank them for it, tried earlier but their forum was down!
I'll do some scanning tomorrow maybe, I was thinking of scanning some of the USDM in Japan stuff to start a thread with. It's an interesting concept!

I've just found a collection of old gang photos...here's a few:  There's something really cool about this period-modded Cherry.  It's like a window into the past. Contemporary Celeste modding!  |
